First of all, as I noted, the minister will be coming forward with an action plan that will go beyond what the Auditor General has suggested.
With regard to the transition, I'd like to point out that with regard to the work of the Auditor General and all the recommendations, which we accept, there has been a certain maturity over this period of time. You will note that the period covered in this report goes back to 2006-2007, and I would like to believe we've made some progress in that area, specifically with regard to how it works.
I'll talk about individuals who are being medically released from the Canadian Forces, which is a small percentage. As was noted in the Auditor General's report, it's a very small number.
We offer a transition interview to those members of the Canadian Forces before they leave, and generally within 60 days of somebody leaving the Canadian Forces, our case manager joins in, so there's a period of time of co-case management so that when the person decides that they are no longer wearing a uniform, they don't have to start all over again with Veterans Affairs Canada. In fact, they can start their rehabilitation program with Veterans Affairs Canada, if that's what's necessary. We can ensure that medical and treatment authorizations are in place.
There's actually a degree of familiarization, so before the Canadian Forces case manager says goodbye and reminds you that you're now moving out to civilian life, they get to know their VAC case manager for a period of time and, hopefully, garner a level of trust with that case manager.
